Questionnaire on the SIZE of digital heritage collections Sample Clauses

Questionnaire on the SIZE of digital heritage collections. Summary This questionnaire was developed by Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (Panteia) and Xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxx (DEN). At the core of the questionnaire is a list of object types that may be represented in digital heritage collections. Since the aim was to assess the size of both digitised analogue and born digital collections (combined) and since such a list could not be traced in earlier research and surveys, the list had to be developed afresh. The list used here is a combination of the NUMERIC/ENUMERATE Core Survey list of object types and a list of born digital object types that was developed in research on born digital heritage in The Netherlands, initiated by DEN in 2009. Accompanying questions are selected to put the results of assessing collection size and growth in context. Quantifying digital collections is done in three slightly different ways. The initial plan was to ask each of the selected institutions to test each of the separate approaches to measuring collections size. To minimise the risk of impairing the willingness of respondents it was decided reduce the number of approaches to be tested to two per heritage institution. Purpose of this approach is to assess the variance that results from using different methods of counting. The institutions in this part of the TS will be asked to evaluate the practicability of the different methods, which may perhaps lead to varying conclusions about the appropriateness of different methods in different subdomains of the heritage domain. The National Coordinators in 7 different EU member states have selected the institutions (10 to 15 institutions per member state). Date Author Status
